About Nicolette
Nicolette Bennett is a counsellor who focuses on anxiety, stress and related concerns. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Nicolette uses a straightforward, conversational style so people can talk about difficult feelings without jargon.
Her background includes roles as a substance misuse mentor and outreach youth worker. She has also supported adults with complex mental health needs and people with disabilities and mobility challenges.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her practical approach to care and listening skills. Nicolette blends client-centred methods with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. That means sessions often begin by listening closely and then trying small, manageable steps to change thinking or behaviour.
She adapts the pace and focus to what each person needs most. She has experience working with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, dissociation, depression, self-harm and the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. She also supports people facing stress, addiction concerns, grief, relationship or intimacy issues, sleeping problems and career or life transitions.
Sessions can be delivered by phone or online, and Nicolette has been trained in telephone and online counselling. She aims to help people feel steadier, reduce distressing symptoms and find practical ways to cope day to day.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so clients can notice what matters and make changes at their own pace. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and practical steps to reduce anxiety, panic attacks or unhelpful thinking. This approach is useful for people who want clear tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust techniques together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy with Nicolette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face discussions and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments or work through thoughts in writing. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
